Pointless arrests do more harm to society than good in the long run. It increases revenue through taxable income and sales tax in our communities. The United States is already a leader in Marijuana cultivation and research. Atlanta will be a huge market when cannabis becomes legal. I will support the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of my district by fighting for fair market entrance. Mass incarceration due to decades of unfair policies is one of the biggest blights on America. We must not leave behind the people who were incarcerated for this plant after it becomes legal.

Americans are facing more economic uncertainty than ever before. Technology is eliminating jobs in numerous and unexpected industries. With the Coronavirus, it will happen even faster than expected. 23% of US jobs will be impacted by automation by 2030 40% of Americans cannot pay an unexpected $400 expense What I am proposing is to provide every American adult with a Universal Guaranteed Income of $1300 a month as a right of citizenship. No strings attached. Learn more
The increase in the price of tuition makes no sense. College does not guarantee a job; it ends up creating diminishing returns on investment for students. This practice is predatory. The current administration, including Betsy Devos, has made it very difficult for people to avoid paying these loans. We must ban the federal government from making a profit off student loans. Those that paid off expensive student loans due despite the hyper-inflated tuition should receive some tax incentive. So, what is the solution? A 70% to 100% forgiveness of all student loans based on income, amount of student loan, and amount of years removed from college. Learn more
We entrust our children and their futures to our teachers. The job they hold is so crucial to our future. That’s why I believe there should be a minimum pay for teachers. Between the schooling involved and the importance of their role in society, they should be well compensated. Starting salary should 70,000 at a minimum for all teachers K-12 and special education.

A One-size-fits-all education, as mandated by the Department of Education, is holding America’s children back. Every child is different. Every community is diverse. One community should not possess better resources and better facilities because of income, all children deserve the same equity and access to all of the essentials needed to gain a quality education. Education should fit the needs of each child, situation, and teacher. Parents and students can make their own choices. An agency in Washington cannot access the needs of a particular child better than a parent. Learn more

The 2nd Amendment is one of the most crucial Amendments within our bill of rights. Defending yourself and your loved ones is an inalienable right. Over time, we’ve seen the militarization of police and increased use of excessive force against the people and peaceful demonstrations. The very people who take an oath to protect and serve the public, have picked up weapons of war and put citizens in the crosshairs. It’s because of this very practice that I believe people should never surrender their 2nd amendment rights. Citizens MUST be able to protect themselves against the threat of authoritarian governments and their police forces willing to enact violence against the people. However, with such liberties comes an extreme responsibility to maintain and increase the safety of the citizens. This is why I advocate for common sense gun laws. This includes extensive background checks, mandatory firearm safety and education for all Americans. Learn more
